I have a mac and I can't believe mac doesn't have easy pc like multiple file rename feature. With this Automator it takes 2:45 minutes. In pc takes 3 seconds: command+A, Right mouse button and Rename. Simple as that. If you have simple solution, let me know pls!

@Halophite That's fine if you want them all to be "filename (#).xxx" (I wish it was that simple on OSX too, one thing Windows does easier), but if you want more control like adding the time and date and for it to only apply things to files with certain criteria and so on, using Automator and this kind of method gives you a hell of a lot more control.

@wazup3333 If you click the file with your mouse and then hit the enter button it will allow you to rename the file with out needing to click "get info"
